Governor Mikie Sherrill(@GovSherrillNJ):Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have spent more than 240 straight days at sea. They have not been in port once in all of 2026. There are reports of food shortages, broken toilets and showers, unsanitary conditions, severe exhaustion, and mental health issues, including sailors attempting to jump overboard. And Republicans in Washington aren’t doing nearly enough to fix it. I served nearly ten years in the Navy and almost seven on the House Armed Services Committee. Here’s what New Jerseyans need to know.
